Xavi Hernandez Shows ‘Hilarious’ Guitar Skills As Barcelona Unveils Special El Clasico Kit

• Barcelona are in partnership with digital music service provider Spotify
• The La Liga club occasionally wear jerseys with the icons of music stars on it
• The Catalan club are set to wear a rolling stone kit ahead of El Clasico

Since Barcelona inked a deal with the digital music service provider Spotify in 2022, the club has occasionally featured kits adorned with the logos of music icons.

In their recent La Liga showdown with Real Madrid, the Catalan team sported jerseys showcasing the logo of Catalan songstress Rosalía.

This Rosalía-inspired kit came after their prior endorsement of Drake on their jerseys as part of their partnership with the music juggernaut Spotify.

In anticipation of the upcoming El Clásico this weekend, La Blaugrana has unveiled a jersey paying homage to the legendary Rock band, the Rolling Stones, as reported by ESPN.
